The average American at home Oh

that would seem to cast the shadow of a
shade upon his native land. \ story
told Last evening at the Richmond-Avt-
nue. Methodist Episcopal Church by the
Rev. George w. Peek might be cited in
illustration. An Englishnlan was trav-
cling through Italy with an American
friend, and in the course of their sojOurn-
ings each maintained the superiority OF
his own country. Finally the grand
spectacle of Mount Vesuvius in eruption
throwing its brilliant rays across the bay
of Naples. burst upon their astonishet
gaze. Now, look at that" chuckled
the Englishman; ''you haven't got any
thing in America that can come any
where near that" No" moodily re-
Piled the Yankee, lit is true we have not
got a Vesuvius, but we have got a water
fall that would put out that thing in less
than five minutes"

An EXTRAORDINARY Scene.

CHICAGO, March An extraordinary
scene took place at the weekly meeting of
Congregational ministers this morning.
The topic which came up was the sickness
from which Henry Ward Beecher is be-
lievcd to be dying, and the statement of
some of the pastors present took the shape
OF resolutions of coincidence which it was
proposed to send Mrs. Beecher by tele-
graph. This was opposed by a number of
ministers, their opposition being based on
the alleged heterodoxy of Beecher's views
regarding future salvation and punish
ment. An acrimonious debate ensued,
and finally a motion to adopt the resolu-
tons unanimously was lost. Great ex-
element prevailed, and the utmost efforts
were made to keep the affair from the
newspapers.
One minister arose and said that he
would not extend sympathy to a man who
was charged with immortality and had
never cleared himself of the charge. He
said he doubted that Mr.. Beecher had
established his innocence of the %offense OF
which he was accused by Tilton years ago.
The friends of Mr.. Beecher holly at
tackled the speaker who had alluded to the
scandal.

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Trotter, the
new recorder of deeds for the District of
Columbia, called at the White house to-
day, in company with ex-Recorder Matth-
ews, and was formally presented to the
president. 1t was their first meeting.
1t is expected that Judge McCue, solicit
tor of.the treasury, will either be appoin-
ted as additional circuit judge for the New
York district for the trial of customs cases,
or that he will be appointed assistant Sec
rotary of the treasury, in the event of
Fairchild's appointment as secretary.
The supreme court reassembled to-day
after the February recess. Ali justices
were in their seats except Justice Woods,
who is still In California.
Although pressure has been brought to
bear upon the president to induce him to
approve the river and harbor bill, and
strong arguments have been made and
cases cited to establish authority for the
executive to sign any bill within ten days
after adjournment OF congress- it is posi-
lively stated at the White house that the
president will not sign the bill.
The president has appointed John h.
Sackett postmaster at Buffalo, N. Y.

The Septennate Bill Passes the
First Reading.

BERLIN, March 7.-Emperor William
yesterday received Herr Wedel Piedorf,
president of the reichstag. In the con-
versation which took place the emperor
said he was reluctantly compelled to dis
solve the late reichstag despite his ex-
PLANTATION to the reichstag of the superior
ity of Germany's neighbors over her in
military matters; The opposition major
ity refused to sanction the military bill to
the necessary extent, and the reasonable
hope that the s%eptennate term would have
been adopted after the example given by
France proved fallacious. 1t was moro
gratifying row to cherish the hope that
the large majority in the new reichstag
would accept the bill at the outset. Re
ferring to the attitude Of the pope during
the elections. he said he had already been
convinced of the pacific disposition of his
holiness, and that it was on this account
that Germany had asked him to act as
arbitrator in the dispute with Spain about
the Caroline islands. In conclusion. the
emperor expressed the hope tina. all
ecclesiastical troubles between Prussia and
the vatican would soon be peacefully and
completely settled.
In the reichstag to-day the septennate
bill was formally passed to its first read.
ing. Bismarck was present. The bill
will be taken up for a second reading to-
morrow and debate will ensue. Herr
Windthcrst, leader of the Clerical party,
will then declare his intentions in relation
to the septenna term. Other party lead
ers have announced they will vote as they
did when the bill was defeated in the late
reichstao.

cral shots were heard in the vicinity and

ted the crime for money Lackey was

~PITTsBURG, March IA special from
Youngstown, o., says: The situation
between officers and striking brakemen on
the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio

excitement increased this morning by the

Plnching the Signal Service

WASHINGTON, March THE signal
service is likely to be sadly pinched by the
failure of the general deficiency appropri-
alton bill. The most serious consequences
of the failure of the bill, perhaps, will be
the discontinuance of storm warnings,
cold waves, ETC., at a number of impor-
tant points, owing to the failure of the
item appropriating SIS, 900 for telegraph
ing and reporting these warnings. So
nearly exhausted is the sum now available
for this purpose that a heavy cut must be
made in the service at a very early day.

BROOKLYN. March ALI day Sun
day and until midnight the officer on duty
at the door of Beecher's house was kept
busy answering queries of friends and
strangers. For hours people stood in the
damp weather looking at the house, and
it was not until the lights in the windows
were lowered that the crowd was entirely
dispersed. Even as late as l o'clock people
climbed up the steps and tried to read
the last bulletin. Most of the flowers
sent to the house came from the mem
bers of the congregation. Major Pond
was in the house most of the day. He
told the circumstances connected with
Bcecher's daily occupation just previous
to the attack, with considerable feeling.
He said that Beecher Only Tuesday last
told him how strong he felt and how glad
he was that he would be able to complete
his book in time for the publishers and
what pleasure he found in writing the
work. In the coming September it was
intended to give a grand celebration in
honor of Beecher's iftieth year in the min
istry, and the first half century of his
married life, also the fortieth year of his
ministry at the Brooklyn church. All of
the morning, from just before daylight,
there was collected a crowd of people on
the sidewalk In front of the Beecher resi-
dence, eagerly scanning the latest bulle-
TIN.
New YORK, March Rev. Lindsey
Parker, rector of st. Peters church,
called a few minutes after 8 o'clock in the
afternoon. He was permitted to see Mr..
Beecher. When he lett the house, he said
that Mr.. Beecher's condition was I'M
changed, and that he thought he could
not live any longer than to-day. DR..
Searle is in constant attendance.
At 10 o'clock tonight the following
bulletin was issued:
Mr.. Beecher is steadily failing, but
We do not think he will die tonight.
[Signed. Nv. S. SEARLE. NJ. D."
At 1890 the house was closed for the
night. At ll:45 Maj. Pond appeared and
announced that the family were all gath
cred about the sick mans bedside,
momentarily expecting his death. His
condition was more critical than it had
been during any part of the day.

WASHINGTON. March I. - Commits
sioner Sparks has ordered the restoration
to entry of IL, 1000 acres of land in the
Reed City, Michigan, land district, which
we're selected in 1871, by the Jackson,
Lansing & Saginaw Railway company.
The commissioners in 1885 held that
these lands were excepted from the rail-
road grant by reason of having been en-
braced in an Indian reservation at the
date of the grant. and that by the subse-
quent extinguishnient of the Indian res
ervation the lands reverted to the public
domain, and did not inure to the railroad
company. Secretary Lamar affirmed
this decision and the present action opens
the lands to settlement and entry under
the public land laws.
